Happy Friday everyone! 🙂
I whipped up these pancakes in no time. They are super easy and quick to make and full of superfoods. Toppings of your choice – this time I used fresh peaches (I would usually boil them in some water and agave nectar) and a drizzle of peanut butter and honey. You can be as imaginative as you want 🙂
Quinoa Flakes
Quinoa flakes: Quinoa flakes are essentially just quinoa that’s rolled to create a thin flake that many people love to use for a hot cereal alternative in the morning. Because the flakes are so thin, they’re extremely quick-cooking. They are naturally very low in calories, are very low in fat, and are cholesterol-free. They are an excellent source of plant-based protein and dietary fibers. One-third a cup of dry quinoa flakes provides about 130 calories and just two grams of fat. Quinoa flakes also provide a healthy amount of dietary fiber – about two and a half grams per 1/3 cup, and a 4.3 grams of protein. Like quinoa, quinoa flakes are a great source of protein, especially for vegetarians and vegans.
